By bringing together researchers from a wide range of disciplines (including law, ethics, cultural studies, psychology, international relations, religious studies, history, literary and media studies), this inter-disciplinary conference will explore how people of faith have come to terms with the traumas, dilemmas and challenges of modern conflict, addressing the origins, range, and impact of their responses, and their significance for religion, culture, ethics, non-governmental organisations, international relations, and international law. As the centenary of the First World War unfolds, proposals focusing on that era are welcome, but those relating to the entire period c.1700 to the present will also be warmly received.

A case may also be made for presenting a paper on an earlier period if it can be shown that it will be of special relevance to the theme of the conference. It is intended that a selection of the conference papers will be published in the Defence Academy Yearbook 2017.

The International Network for the Study of War and Religion in the Modern World was established in 2009 to promote greater communication and collaboration among scholars working in the field of war and religion from the eighteenth to the twenty-first centuries. AFCC, Amport House, is a constituent College of the Defence Academy, delivering and fostering research, education and training, and is the home of Faith across Defence.
